Teams that commit multiple flagrant hits will face sanctions

The NFL will punish teams next season if their players commit multiple flagrant hits that result in fines.

The punishment will be financial, although league vice president Adolpho Birch said Tuesday that he didn't rule out NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell applying further sanctions such as stripping teams of draft choices.

"As a club's total increases to a certain threshold, we will enforce some ... payback to encourage clubs to stay below that threshold," Birch said. "We're looking at a system similar to one we instituted a couple years ago with off-field conduct."

Now, the teams are being put on notice, as well as the players, that illegal hits will result in substantial discipline.

Birch wouldn't identify which teams from 2010 would have been subject to fines had the policy been in place, but he did say at least three teams might have been punished.

Now that would be funny unless it was us. Especially if it where coaches dropping knees into players trying to get downfield.
